In this unit, pupils have explored the structure of fractions and their relationship with decimals and integers. This is built on in the future unit where pupils deepen their understanding of the arithmetic procedures involving fractions and integers.

In this unit, pupils will be asked to compare and order both fractions and decimals and will assess when conversion is required. Fluency in working with decimals and integers is an important skill which is developed in the prior unit.

This unit develops understanding and manipulation of fractions, including conversion between fractions to terminating and recurring decimals. Pupils then learn strategies to order fractions of increasing complexity.
